It’s been a while since I first picked up A Darker Shade of Magic, the first book of the Shades of Magic trilogy, so I was a little lost in the beginning as I worked to remember who the main characters where and what each had done in the first book.
Early last week I made a last minute post on Twitter I was participating in the Bout of Books readathon, round 25. Things have not gone according to plan.
I made it through Mistborn because I was trying to figure out the magic system. This book…this book just dragged. It took me several months to finish because there was nothing keeping me going.
This was a thrilling conclusion to the Enslaved Chronicles. Miara is figuring out how to be Queen, and Aven is dealing with being King and the possible death of his father. Both are also still fighting a war. The Dark Master is still basically on their doorstep, just waiting for the right time to strike.
The weather finally decided to cooperate. The sun came out, and the sky did not fall on us yesterday. So, my husband and I got some much needed yard work done. Not completely done, but a good start.
Oh my gosh, what a ride. First everything is going smooth, Lila is getting settled in to the house she is house sitting, and then she witnesses a woman thrown from a window to her death. Turns out, it was the wrong murder to witness…not that there is a right murder to witness, but if you have to witness a murder, this is not the murder you want to be drawn into.
Today I’ll be going to the fourth bridal shower in a year.
Tome Topple round 8 is complete and I’m looking forward to round 9 already.
Nora Roberts never disappoints. Things kick off right away with our main character walking up to someone she doesn’t know, or rather, hasn’t met outside of her dreams. This made me a little uncomfortable as I would never be able to do that myself. I have issues with social situations.
The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimberly over on the Caffeinated Reviewer. Even though it’s technically been Spring for a while, the weather I think has finally decided it’s Spring. Had some rain showers the end of last week, but temperatures were still warmer than Winter. Spent a good portion of this…
